In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Isvara Samhita Vol 1Baḍavānala (बडवानल) refers to one of the various Vibhava manifestations according to the Īśvarasaṃhitā 24.241-245.—Accordingly, “(This deity) Bhagavān has a great glory and His body is made of the ṣāḍguṇya in full. He takes an añjali from His Brahmatattva, which is very tranquil and sprinkles with His own lustre that is gross, on those who are tortured by defects. He who is unborn shall be meditated upon while doing external worship, who is blown by air, as it were, like a hill of live smokeless, who has much refulgence, having the face (mouth) of the horse and is without any marked feature, who has formed Brahmāñjali, with eyes like liquid gold, who is carrying the fuel of water arising in the three worlds with the tip of the snout, reducing it to ashes fully and preffing it with the mouth”.
These Vibhavas (e.g., Baḍavānala) represent the third of the five-fold manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness the Pāñcarātrins believe in. Note on Añjali: a measurement to fill up the palms when folded to form a hollow; here this word means something from His own self is taken by this deity. The use of the word añjali is justified for sprinkling something kept there. That which is thus sprinkled so as relieve those who are tormented.
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
